Читать книгу When God Rewrites Your Story (Pkg of 10) - Jessica LaGrone - Страница 3

Introduction

Have you ever thought of your life as a story? Just like the characters in the Bible, your life tells a story. And just as God was intimately involved in their stories, He wants to be intimately involved in your story, too.

When we read the stories of many people who encountered God in the Bible, we see that God rewrote their stories and changed their lives, giving them new destinies and even new names. God still longs to change our lives today, giving us new destinies and new names, when we take on the name of His Son, Jesus, and choose to follow Him as new creations in Christ. God wants to rewrite our stories, offering each of us an identity that shines with the purpose for which we were created, as we become more and more like Him. The result is a transformed life—one that brings God glory for His name’s sake.

We can learn much about this process of transformation from the stories of biblical characters who came to know God and were never the same. This little book presents a snapshot of six different stories: Abraham and Sarah, Jacob, Naomi, Daniel, Peter, and an unnamed woman. Each story highlights a key insight we can gain related to the transformation that God wants to bring in our own lives. These six keys to a transformed life are intended to help you catch a glimpse of the new story God desires to write for you. It is my prayer that as you read these stories, you will come to know God in a deeper and more personal way and give Him permission to rewrite your own life story.
